FAQs
What is the ideal water temperature for this suit?
This suit is specifically engineered for water temperatures between 11 and 14 degrees Celsius.
How do I store the wetsuit?
Store it hanging over a wide hanger or a bar at the waist, inside out, in a cool, dark, and dry place.
Can I use a washing machine to clean my wetsuit?
No, never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit as it will destroy the neoprene and seam integrity.
What does 4/3 mean in the product name?
It indicates that the wetsuit uses 4mm of neoprene in the core/torso for warmth and 3mm in the arms and legs for better flexibility.
How should the wetsuit fit?
It should feel like a second skin without being restrictive; there should be no large air pockets or bunching at the joints.
Troubleshooting
Water flushing through the chest zip
Ensure the internal barrier flap is laid flat against your chest and that the zipper is fully closed and locked at the top.
Stiff or cracking rubber
This is often a sign of salt buildup or sun damage; ensure you are rinsing with fresh water and avoiding long-term storage in direct sun.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your wetsuit, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every surf to remove salt, sand, and organic debris. Avoid using harsh soaps or chemicals which can degrade the neoprene. When drying, avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays break down the rubber and cause premature cracking; instead, hang the suit by the waist over a wide bar in a shaded, well-ventilated area. When putting the suit on, avoid using your fingernails to pull at the material, as this can cause small punctures in the high-stretch rubber.
